Harlem Fire Destroys J Weiss Barn at Corner Triplanes and Dixon
The fire Thursday morning totally destroyed J Weiss's barn at the corner of Triplanes avenue and Dixon street. The Independent ticket won with one exception in town elections. Bohlander defeated Irving B. Clendenen for town clerk. A caucus is set for April 9 1898 to nominate a president and two trustees for the Board of Education at the north side school house. The village board granted Chicago Telephone Co. a franchise to erect poles and provide three phones for water works, race track, and village hall. A dispute at Gadens Park left Sam Hatchet fined three dollars and costs after a jury trial. Otto Marx had Hatchet arrested and Hatchet faced an eleven dollar fine and costs. A concert by the Harlem Maennorchor at Thodes Hall on April 10 1898 features Part I Marceli Nibelungen and other works, followed by Part II from Martha and other songs with Oscar Backe and Ernst Kapp among the performers.

The piece also quotes a Georgia editor confessing bribe-friendly bias, claiming remuneration helps support his large family.
